We all know about Denard and what he can do. What about the other players on Michigan and Indiana who might make a difference in the game? With a little help from Stephen Hopkins, I give you:
Who to keep an eye on from Michigan during the IU Game:
- Mike Cox - rumored to be most talented running back at Michigan has been down the depth chart due to "rumors" of missing holes and work ethic. With Shaw and Toussaint out of Saturday's game, is it time for Mike Cox to raise up?
- Taylor Lewan - is making his second start on the offense line and at times has been pretty dominate.
- Brandon Herron and Carvin Johnson are coming off injury and if healthy could be a nice lift to the defense. Mostly against a passing team like an Indiana.
- Wild card: true freshman Marvin Robinson. IU is going to air it out, might we see some of #3 at safety this week? Double Down Wild card: Ray Vinopal.
From Indiana:
- Benny and the Jets: Ben Chappell is senior QB who is averaging 296.7 passing yards a game and hasn't thrown a pick yet this year. He has a host of play makers at WR including:
- A Toss to Doss: Tandon Doss the junior WR almost had 200 yards against the Wolverines last year in the Big House. and.....
- He's from Michigan? Terrance Turner a 6'3 210 pound WR from Auburn Hills, MI had a touchdown catch and 121 yards receiving last week.
- What u talking about Willis? How about 152 yards last year against Michigan's D and a 85 yard TD run. Let's hope that doesn't happen again for RB Darius Willis.
Family Feud:
Punting: Hagerup vs Hagerup: Neither one expected to punt much during the game. Chris= IU, Will = U of M
Defensive Line: Back in Black: Jibreel (Michigan) vs Larry (IU). Both play on the defensive lines.

Question: I know that when playing true freshman you are taking a higher risk. I think Cam Gordon's got potential but I question if he is at the right safety position because of his lack of true speed to play center field, and the need to tackle well especially if you're the last line of defense. I usually feel that a freshman player makes an easier transition to the college level faster if he is playing the same position he excelled in, in high school if he's not going to red shirt. When we consider Carvin Johnson and Ray Vinopal who "may" have more football speed and better tackling skills, than CG, which safety position(s) did they play in high school? Would they in principle be a better technical fit at that position? Thanks!
